Chapter 136 The Black Serpent Mark

Fortunately, he knew that the most important thing at present was to find Wu Ren and Ying Yue. Thinking of this, he tried his best to extricate himself from this strange event.

If you dwell on this, it will not only be of no use, but you will also get stuck in it and unable to extricate yourself.

After all, everything before them was far too bizarre.

Since it's difficult to figure out the reason right now, it's better to put it aside for the time being.

Thinking of this, Kuang Zheng felt relieved.

Just as he made up his mind to find companions, little did he know that Ying Yue and Wu Ren had already successfully reunited.

With their companion's help, the two stopped fleeing.

So they began leaving markers as they moved further away from the battlefield, hoping that Kuangzheng would see these marks as soon as possible and rejoin them...

Leaving aside the search between the group, after Ling Qi led the three brothers safely back to Yekou Ridge, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to see Zhu Xian to report everything that had happened.

When Zhu Xian heard that Kuang Zheng had been accidentally sucked into the infamous Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on her previously tense face.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping sharply over the group, and asked, "Any new information about the other two humans?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful and graceful waiter stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the lord, as of now, we have not been able to ascertain the exact whereabouts of those two people."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xian's face instantly turned ashen, and he said irritably, "Immediately pass down my orders to send more men and do everything in our power! Also, remember to tell those in charge of the search that the lives of these two are of utmost importance, and they must be captured alive without fail!"

"As ordered!"

The waiter acknowledged the order and then hurriedly turned and left to carry out the instructions given by Zhu Xian.

Zhu Xian reiterated that they must be captured alive, a move that completely confirmed Ling Qi's long-held suspicions.

Without a doubt, these humans must possess an unparalleled treasure that can instantly restore one's spiritual energy!

Otherwise, given Zhu Xian's status and strength, why would he care so much about a few weak humans and pursue them so relentlessly?

At this moment, Lingqi had already made up her mind, but her face was still full of respect.

However, his guess was not the truth.

Zhu Xian's relentless pursuit of Kuang Zheng and the others was entirely due to Wu Ren and Ying Yue.

If we can successfully capture these two people and seal them in the Vermilion Fruit Garden with secret medicine to nurture them, we believe that we will soon obtain two furnaces with fifth-level energy.

With these two peerless furnaces, Zhu Xian believed that he would be able to break through his current bottleneck and advance to the seventh level, a realm that no one had reached in nearly ten thousand years!

When that time comes, the entire wilderness will bow down and submit to his illustrious name.

The thought of this made Zhu Xian tremble uncontrollably.

Why would he reveal such a crucial and confidential matter concerning his own authority to an outsider?

Even those like Ling Qi, who were considered his right-hand men, would never have revealed such secrets.

After all, their loyalty was only because Zhu Xian possessed absolute strength that overwhelmed everyone else, which is why they were so obedient.

They themselves are also manifestations of the Vermilion Fruit. If they knew such secrets, who could guarantee that they wouldn't covet these two furnaces?

Ying Yue and Wu Ren also play an irreplaceable and enormous role for them.

If Ling Qi and the others were to learn the truth, once they captured those two humans, they could absorb them directly after a period of careful preparation.

At that time, even if he cannot surpass Zhu Xian, he will at least be able to stand on equal footing with him and compete with him.

If that's the case, the assistant will suddenly become a competitor.

Who could resist such temptation?

Although Zhu Xian was absolutely confident that these people would never dare to plot or scheme under his close surveillance.

But hearts are hard to fathom!

Who can remain unmoved by the temptation of being in a position of power?

These men were the undisputed leaders of Noguchi-ryo; they knew the taste of power all too well.

That is why their desire for power surpasses that of anyone else.

But when facing Zhu Xian, they always have to be the first-class.

This feeling was so intense that they were in unbearable pain.

Now that the opportunity to turn things around is right in front of us, who can still remain loyal at this time?

Zhu Xian always harbored suspicion towards his subordinates; the only person he truly trusted was himself.

He only values ​​himself. Otherwise, how could he have regarded all the Vermilion Fruits as his own food and drink over the years, and never regarded them as his own kind or even his descendants?

The attitude you show to the world will determine how the world responds to you!

In fact, things unfolded exactly as he had predicted.

He did not trust his own kind, and his kind were equally wary of him, most notably Ling Qi and his companions.

Although Ling Qi guessed the wrong answer, her attitude towards the two humans quietly changed after all her previous guesses were confirmed one by one.

Although he was still filled with fear and apprehension towards Zhu Xian, he dared not openly compete with him head-on—after all, Zhu Xian's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness were deeply imprinted on everyone's soul.

In everyone's eyes, Zhu Xian was undoubtedly an extremely selfish and psychologically twisted psychopath who could not see anyone but himself.

Anyone who dares to disobey or betray in the slightest will suffer a fate worse than death.

Therefore, despite coveting the two humans' treasures, Ling Qi dared not reveal it in the slightest.

If this matter were exposed, not only would he lose the precious treasure, but he would also lose his life.

Despite being one of Zhu Xian's seven great generals, the high and mighty Ling Qi.

But once Zhu Xian discovers his disloyalty, he will surely die without a burial place.

However, if one can act secretly, there might still be a chance of success.

After all, even Zhu Xian couldn't keep an eye on those two humans every second.

Moreover, he has no idea where the other party is right now, and this is Ling Qi's chance!

Human desires and greed are never truly satisfied, even when faced with the threat of death...

Zhu Xian never expected that Ling Qi, who had always been obedient to him and acted timidly, would be the first person to make a move on him.

The other party's assumption was based solely on their own guess...

When faced with self-interest, people can turn into devils, let alone Ling Qi, who has always been oppressed.

On the surface, they were the undisputed rulers of Noguchi Pass, but in reality, they were nothing more than Zhu Xian's retainers.

Ling Qi's involvement has added even more uncertainty to an already complex situation...
